Across countless worlds: Yearning to become a giant of light.

Chapter 80 [FGO] The Dragon Slayer's Spirit Origin
"Lady Anzhen, please leave this to us. Your leg is still injured."

Just as Chen Lin was about to step forward and give a speech, Kiyohime volunteered to stand up.

Elizabeth, standing to the side, was not to be outdone.

"Let me show you what the power of a world-class idol is all about, you little wolf cub!"

These two rivals were as in sync as sisters at that moment, and it's hard to know if they'll start bickering again afterward.

Chen Lin: Pfft... (suppressing laughter)

You two dragon girls are fighting a saintess who can subdue an evil dragon with her bare hands?
Will it win?
Kiyohime/Elizabeth: We'll win! (Smiles)

"go to hell!"

"ha--!"

Kiyohime and Elizabeth have entered!
"Well done!"

Martha's fighting spirit soared upon seeing this, and she threw a punch at the two dragon girls.

bump--!
"ah!"

"Well……"

Kiyohime and Elizabeth have both failed.

[......]
"..."

Chen Lin and Little Da Vinci patted each other on the head in perfect unison.

You two were already injured and haven't recovered yet.

How could she possibly defeat the already formidable Iron Fist Saintess?
It would be better if I went up and said a few words to try and persuade them to change their minds; that would be more likely to succeed.

“So weak…”

Martha muttered something under her breath.

"Sir, please..."

Seeing this from a distance, Joan of Arc didn't know what to say and could only turn to Chen Lin, who seemed to be the leader of the three.

“Miss Martha, I know you are not really our enemy.”

As she had expected, Chen Lin stepped forward, but said something that surprised Joan of Arc.

"The situation at this singularity is extremely critical. Chaldea is already racing against time. Please do not probe any further!"

Chen Lin gripped the magical costume that could conjure a long sword tightly in his arms. If he really had to fight, he would go all out.

Martha didn't answer immediately after hearing the advice. She wondered how Chen Lin knew her real name and even knew her thoughts.

However, she did indeed put away her fighting stance, which relieved Chen Lin.

"I was originally going to give you guys a try, but given the situation... I think I'll pass."

Even Martha felt that the intensity of this singularity was a bit inhuman. Having the courage to rush to the battlefield was already extraordinary; there was no need to fight a battle to test the other party's resolve.

"Thank you so much!"

Chen Lin said very solemnly.

"Eh? Lady Martha, so you're a companion? But just now..."

Joan of Arc was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Why did I get attacked by my own troops for no reason?

"Ah... um... this is a test from the Saintess to her juniors! Don't mind it!"

Seeing Joan of Arc like this, Martha was somewhat embarrassed. She raised her hand to scratch her cheek and could only half-jokingly try to smooth things over.

"To lie..."

Kiyohime's fall instantly triggered the 'lie radar,' but the sound was too faint for Jeanne d'Arc, who was far away, to hear.

"That's settled then! I will continue to infiltrate Jeanne Alter's ranks and help you in the final battle!"

"There's absolutely no indication that he's under berserk control..."

Chen Lin watched Marda's retreating figure and muttered a complaint under his breath.

So, was the performance in the game's storyline just an act? Chen Lin then helped Kiyohime and Elizabeth up, and the three of them went to Joan of Arc, who was resting on the spot.

"Thank you so much for your help. My name is Jeanne d'Arc (Jeanne Darc)... well, not the Dragon Witch!"

Although Kiyohime and Elizabeth's reactions were rather abstract, Joan of Arc thanked them all and specifically reminded herself that she and Joan of Arc Alter were not the same person.

“We already encountered the Dragon Witch in Thiel.”

Chen Lin nodded.

He then briefly recounted his origins and experiences during this period to Joan of Arc.

"That's it..."

[Lady Jeanne, do you know Siegfried? The white-haired servant, who supposedly left behind a sword.]
Seeing that Joan of Arc had accepted Chen Lin and the others, Little Da Vinci in the control room quickly inquired.

"Siegfried? Ah! I know him. Before he disappeared, he told me to protect his Noble Phantasm, the greatsword that could annihilate swarms of dragons."

Having said that, Joan of Arc, who had barely regained her strength, stood up and led Chen Lin and the other two to her temporary stronghold, where she took out her slightly worn greatsword from under the bed.

"Something dangerous!"

"Whoa!!! Little wolf cub, throw this thing away right now!"

Kiyohime and Elizabeth, the two 'dragon offspring', immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and fearfully hid behind Chen Lin.

"You guys..."

Chen Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, then looked at the gray greatsword in Joan of Arc's hand.

"Barmonk, the legendary holy sword that killed Fafnir."

[The magic power above is almost gone... As a Noble Phantasm, can it really still be used?]
"Since Siegfried specifically left the Noble Phantasm behind, it should be usable."

There's nothing we can do at this point.

Chen Lin raised his hand and gently stroked Balmonk's sword.

In an instant, his consciousness left his body and found himself in a deep, secluded cave.

"here it is……"

Chen Lin looked around and then noticed the sounds of fighting in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a white-haired man wearing armor, wielding a holy sword that emitted a blue magical glow, fighting a massive black dragon!
This is the legend of Siegfried slaying the dragon.

That black dragon is undoubtedly Fafnir.

"Siegfried's memories, why am I seeing this when I touched Balmunk?"

Chen Lin was somewhat puzzled.

However, the battle in the distance ended quickly, as if the battle had been skipped. The black dragon's huge body fell to the ground, while Siegfried, stripped of his armor, stood there bathed in dragon blood, a leaf still clinging to his back.

Then Chen Lin's vision blurred for a moment, and the giant dragon and dragon slayer in the distance disappeared, replaced by the servant Siegfried (wearing the Blood of the Evil Dragon Armor) with his back to him.

"I'm sorry, Master of Chaldea, I'm leaving before I could even play my part."

Siegfried turned around apologetically and apologized to Chen Lin.

It is clear that this is Siegfried's remaining consciousness within the Noble Phantasm, or rather, his lingering spiritual origin.

"What's there to apologize for? You've already done your best, Siegfried."

After all, Siegfried sacrificed himself to protect ordinary people, and the difficulty of this singularity was truly extraordinary, so Chen Lin would not blame him.

"Master..."

Siegfried wanted to say something more, but Chen Lin's new human senses had already discerned the other's thoughts, knowing that he was worried about him having to fight Fafner in a human body.

"Leave it to me next."

Seeing this, Siegfried said no more and handed the holy sword to Chen Lin.

In reality, the tarnished greatsword suddenly burst into light as Chen Lin stroked it, transforming back into its original Noble Phantasm form!

At the same time, an almost tangible magical power emanated from Chen Lin's body!
[This is... a Servant's Spirit Origin?! Eh! How could this be... that it resonated with Master's body and even merged with it!]
Little Leonardo da Vinci cried out in bewilderment from inside the control room.
